About gamerisms

To tell the story about gamerisms, we begin with...
Once upon a time, a group
of game players tossed around the idea of a website concept that would
capture the attention and share the passion of gamers who play sports,
casino, skill and video games.

We knew that there is a huge audience worldwide as there are gamers of
all ages playing or watching games 24/7/365.
As the majority of the group are writers and teachers of game playing,
it was decided to utilize those skills to create a themed site for
gamers to meet, learn, share and smile about their passion.

A games glossary is a good start to communicate this passion, but there
had to be something different to attract this experienced group
of internet browsers beginning with the name.
Games glossary, gamers jargon or gamerz jargon and
gameisms were suggested. gameisms was close, but 2 vowels together may
cause a problem.
Thus, gamerisms.com was born.

My name is Gayle Mitchell and I have been a game player since my father
taught me how to play card games at a young age.
Throughout my life, games have always played a part, so to speak. My
husband and I have played and watched baseball, football and
volleyball. Of course, hockey is on that sports list—it's a
requirement if you are Canadian!

Along the way, I quickly discovered poker, rummy, euchre, billiards and
traveled to Las Vegas—the game playing capital of the world. This
experience led to my new career, gambling writer as described below:
"My casino gambling education began in 1990 when I went to Las Vegas
for the first time. The excitement made my heart pound and I laughed
out loud. Nothing I had seen before could have prepared me for this
city.
It was pulsating, seductive. I didn’t want to sleep. I just
wanted more of everything the city had to offer.
I played slots and roulette. I knew basic blackjack, but I did not know
all the streategy. So I made a mental note to brush up on the game and
try
it some other time.
I also knew nothing about craps and baccarat. Video poker looked too
complicated, so I played slots only.
Recognizing that I was uneducated about gambling, I committed to learn
every game in the casino. I knew I would come back to Las Vegas, and I
wanted to have even more fun and profit the next time. I wanted to get
educated.
And I did just that!"
Since then, I have written books, ebooks, booklets, taught seminars and
provided hundreds of internet articles about intelligent gambling,
strategies, tips and gambling terms, however my games education was
ongoing.

Now, I can add video games to my education. I
have learned and researched this exciting virtual world, discovered the
unique gamerz jargon and am pleased to say have moved on from the N00b
stage.
Therefore, adding video games along with sports, casino and skill games
to the gamerisms.com site was an easy decision.
As the lead gamerist and webmaster, I am pleased to work with a group
of talented writers and game players. All of us hope you
enjoy our creation and join the group of passionate game players at
gamerisms.com.
